Audeze LCD-X

I was thinking about buying a Norne cable for my LCD-X, is it worth it?
Else I have my old Q Audio cable which ive used with LCD-2's for the past years.

That is really good idea, thanks, it be appreciated.

 
No problem - its important to remember what bought you to the hobby and chances are it was -not- headphone stands - lose sight of your goals and could end up mistreating animals, as this graphic image illlustrates. Look away, children and folk of a frail disposition. The horror, the horror.

  I store mine on a coatrack that cost me a pittance, allowing the cables to hang naturally - the fancy headphone stands look good in photos but the coatrack lets me store all my headphones in one place with minimal waste of space. 

I think if I had lots of headphones I would probably do the same. It definitely is economical space wise.
 
I just have 2 and I would like to have easy access to them right here on my desk without having to get up and fish for them in the closet.
 
And since they are prominently displayed on my desk, I would like for them to look really nice. And for that, the double Woo Audio stand is beautiful and sturdy. Holds both my headphones perfectly.

Not always. Rocking out with my HD800's as I type this.
 
Also some people find 'analytical' to actually be 'musical'

Agree with your finding.
When paired with the right amp, I enjoy the HD800 on rock music.
Great sound stage (of course) and also a nice balance between the bass / guitars / drums and vocals.
My experience is:  the Sennheiser amp HDVA600 works well.
My Schiit Audio Mjolnir - is too bright.
 
Cheers,

I never thought comfort on the Audeze headphones was poor, but I always found that the pressure from the headband became pretty noticeable after a while.
 
I know a lot of people in this thread know this, but for anyone who doesn't, Lohb's headband really does improve the fit of the Audeze headphones. They feel much more secure and have become even better for long term listening.

yup, and also you can get child seat belt wraps such from diomo if the bumpy headband pressure is your only concern. Lohb's leather headband actually improves the weight along with pressure distribution. feels lighter using his suspension design.

I'm thinking to buy a slightly used LCD X (down to $1375 from $2050 in my country). It's used very little and was purchased 2 months ago.
 
The problem is I'm currently using an entry level setup ATH M50x and Fiio E11k. The source is from my PC. Will I be able to drive LCD X with just a Fiio E11k?
 
Obviously I'll buy a better DAC/amp, but I need to save up first. Can you guys recommend me a DAC/Amp combo for LCD X on various price points?

yes you will !
this is where its also made for .
with an impedance of 20 ohm its very easy to drive .
but with a high end amp it s much better.

ur current amp will power them fine. tons of options out there at every price point. i personally use the lyr 2 + bifrost and really like it. you can go much cheaper though and still have pretty competitive performance.

thank you! That's pretty reassuring. So now I can buy them and save up for a better DAC/Amp. Sadly there's no official distributor of Schiit Audio in my country, so I have to import them. What do you think of Cypher Labs Theorem 720 for the LCD-X?
